Custom Mode

Custom Mode is a game mode unlocked by playing a Daily Climb. It allows the player to choose any number of custom modifiers, including Daily modifiers, to their run. It also allows them to customize Seed, Character and Ascension levels beyond those unlocked.

Playing on Custom Mode disables Achievements and the Leaderboards.

Mods on the table below with a * next to them are Daily modifiers and may be selected for Daily Challenges. They have icons, which will appear to the right, on the top of the screen to identify the modifier selected.

Selecting two mods that are mutually exclusive will disable whichever one was selected first.

Modifier	Icon	Effects	Notes
Daily Mods		Embark on a run with exactly 3 random Daily Mods.	Overrides other mods except The Ending and Endless.
Draft*		Draft a starting deck of cards.	The draft consists of 15 choices of 3 cards each that must be chosen in order. These choices are unaffected by Busted Crown and Binary. Mutually exclusive with Sealed Deck. Pandora's Box will not appear.
Sealed Deck*		Craft a deck from 30 random cards.	Similar to Draft, except the game presents 30 cards and you must pick 10 of them to create your deck. Mutually exclusive with Draft. Pandora's Box will not appear.
The Ending		Enables the Final Act.	Enables the three Keys to access Act 4. Mutually exclusive with Endless. This modifier is hidden until the player defeats the Corrupt Heart with all four characters in Standard Mode.

Whenever the player kills a boss after beating Act 3 for the first time this run, instead of a boss chest with a choice of 3 boss relics, the player will be given a blight chest with a choice of 2 blights. Has no effect if Endless Mode is not enabled.
